Finger tip drag is also a great way to get your stroke back if you lose it during an open water swim, it calms you down and resets. Also, it looks like your catch and pull on your right arm is not the same as the left. The left is coming under you during the pull, but your right is passing on the side of your body rather than beneath you. You're doing great and good idea to use the camera!! :-)Jason & Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02428616579287038008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402707.post-88056285154310237592013-05-28T14:06:37.549-05:002013-05-28T14:06:37.549-05:00High elbows are overrated...read Joe Friel's b...High elbows are overrated...read Joe Friel's books.

(The surname itself probably derives from Dickin or Dickon, familiar diminutive forms of Dick.) It was — and still is, though people hardly know it any more — a euphemism for the Devil. It’s very much in the same style as deuce, as in old oaths like what the deuce! which contains another name for the Devil.<br />The first person known to use it was that great recorder of Elizabethan expressions, William Shakespeare, in The Merry Wives of Windsor: “FORD: Where had you this pretty weathercock? MRS PAGE: I cannot tell what the dickens his name is my husband had him of”. That pun relied on the audience knowing that Dickens was a personal name and that what the dickens was a mild oath which called on the Devil.Jumper 2.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/04944168560349599110noreply@blogger.com
